New AHCA Enforcement Citation Underscores Importance of Alzheimer’s Training
As part of our ongoing commitment to keeping Florida’s nurse registries compliant and prepared, C-E-U.com closely monitors AHCA enforcement trends. We’ve just learned that AHCA has issued its third citation under CZ875 this year—and the cited registry has since closed its doors.
This development sends a clear message: Alzheimer’s Disease & Related Dementia (ADRD) training isn’t optional. Under Florida Administrative Code Rule 59A-18.008(6)(b) (CZ875), every registry must ensure that all staff complete a 2-hour ADRD course before providing care to clients with cognitive impairments. Failure to do so can lead not only to citations but, as we’ve seen, the ultimate loss of licensure.
Why CZ875 Matters
Regulatory Requirement
Rule CZ875 mandates ADRD training for nurse registry personnel. It’s designed to improve the quality of care for clients living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias.Patient Safety & Quality
Proper training equips caregivers with communication techniques, behavior-management strategies, and an understanding of disease progression—directly impacting client safety and well-being.Risk Mitigation
Non-compliance can trigger deficiency citations, enforcement actions, and—even worse—forced closure. The recent registry shutdown is a stark reminder of what’s at stake.
